Family sponsorship application in Canada

Bird of Paradise Immigration Services has the expertise to assist you with a variety of family sponsorship applications.

The purpose of the family sponsorship program is to reunite families and maintain strong family ties.

Parents and grandparents’ sponsorship: This category allows citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents to become permanent residents through the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). Alternatively, they can apply for a Super Visa, which allows parents and grandparents to visit their family in Canada for up to 2 years per visit.

Other eligible relatives: In specific situations, Canadian citizens or permanent residents may sponsor other relatives, such as orphaned siblings, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren.

Visitor Visa

The Canadian government provides multiple avenues for individuals to visit the country, catering to different types of visitors. Bird of Paradise Immigration Services can support your application with each type of visa:

Stay in Canada longer: Visitors who wish to extend their stay in Canada can apply for a visitor record before their current stay expires. A visitor record allows the individual to remain in the country for an extended period, typically up to six months, based on the approval of the immigration officer.

Visitor visas for workers and students: Temporary workers and students can apply for a visitor visa alongside their work or study permit. This allows them to enter and leave Canada without the need to reapply for a visa, facilitating seamless travel during their stay.

Invite your parents or grandparents: The Super Visa program allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to invite their parents or grandparents to visit Canada. The Super Visa is a multi-entry visa valid for up to 10 years and allows visitors to stay for up to two years per visit.

Invite business visitors to Canada: Canadian businesses can invite international business visitors for short-term stays to explore trade and investment opportunities or attend conferences, trade shows, and other business-related events. These visitors typically require an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) or a temporary resident visa (TRV) to enter Canada, depending on their nationality.
